Re: Singapore more expensive than NYC???

Having just moved from NYC, here's the breakdown from a professional income level perspective (In Sing $): Rent NYC - $3K Sing - $2.1K (for better accomodations -- about 2x the space!)

Can anybody recommend movers for a move within Singapore?

Hi,

I need to move some of my stuff to a different condo in the same area (Simei), so could anyone recommend good inexpensive movers with a covered truck/lorry?

I will do all my packing myself; if they can provide boxes that'd be a plus.

Thanks

If you need it urgently but still can't find it, then you can get a 60-days trial directly from microsoft at

After 60 days I suppose it should offer you some option to buy/convert it to full version

Yes, dynamic ip's could be different, but in practice it's actually hard to get a new one; you should be offline for enough time to let your dhcp lease expire, and even then servers tend to cache this information and prefer to give you the old one.
